More conservative drug hypocrisy

OK, from the Republican hypocrisy department, we have this story from the NYT (HT: majikthise):
But the release of a music producer from a Dubai jail this week, quick on the heels of his conviction for drug possession, turns out to be a story of high-level string-pulling on the part of Mr. Hatch, the conservative Utah Republican and songwriter, along with Lionel Richie, the singer; Quincy Jones, the music entrepreneur; and an array of well-connected lawyers, businessmen and others, spanning cities and continents.
Maybe Orrin Hatch and Rush Limbaugh should join the Drug Policy Alliance and push for the decriminalization for drugs for everyone, rather than just for themselves and their well-heeled cronies.
